Middendorp on why he substituted Baccus in Kaizer Chiefs' victory against Baroka FC

Baccus produced a man-of-the-match performance against AmaZulu and Amakhosi fans didn't take lightly the decision to pull him out on Saturday

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp was left disappointed with how the club fans reacted to the substitution of Kearyn Baccus in their 1-0 win over Baroka.

The midfielder was replaced by Happy Mashiane midway through the second half, but the crowd at FNB Stadium expressed their dissatisfaction by booing the German mentor in protest of his decision.

However, Middendorp said while he respects the views of the Amakhosi supporters, Baccus had already indicated to him he wasn't sure if he would finish the match.
